The United States is preparing to expand intelligence support for Ukraine by sharing data on long-range energy infrastructure targets inside Russia, according to US officials cited by Reuters and the Wall Street Journal. Washington has reportedly asked NATO allies to provide similar information and is also weighing a Ukrainian request for Tomahawk cruise missiles. The missiles, with ranges reported between 1,500 and 2,500 kilometers, could reach deep into Russian territory, but no decision has been made on their transfer.
If confirmed by the White House, this move would mark a major shift in US policy on the war in Donbas under President Donald Trump, whose administration had mostly moved toward reduced support—notably in March 2025, when it temporarily suspended military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and again in July, when it paused deliveries of certain weapons, including precision munitions and air defense systems. It also follows a rhetorical shift, with Trump recently stating on his Truth Social account that Ukrainian forces could “win back all of Ukraine,” a sharp contrast to his February 2025 meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky, when he criticized Ukraine’s military performance and questioned its ability to prevail.
On the other hand, the Kremlin dismissed suggestions of a new approach, saying the United States and NATO already transmit intelligence to Ukraine. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Western infrastructure is routinely used to gather and share information with Kyiv. In addition, Russian officials have warned that supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine could prompt retaliatory measures, including strikes on military sites in NATO countries and possible forward deployment of Russian missiles.
